Detailed via a video on Netflix’s official YouTube channel, ‘The Breaking Dead Theory’ raises the idea Breaking Bad serves as a prequel to The Walking Dead – clinging onto a few key items which appear on both shows.

In the video, one of these ‘smoking guns’ is the drugs carried by Merle in an early episode of The Walking Dead, which looks suspiciously like Walt’s particular concoction of blue crystal meth.

The theory also points to a red Dodge car which appears on both shows, along with more ridiculous notions of Darryl saying Jesse Pinkman-style phrases like ‘I’m going to kill you, b*tch!’ and Gus Fring potentially becoming a zombie during his savagely grim death scene in Breaking Bad.

Not convinced? Neither is the video – giving it a 5/10 believably rating but a 9/10 for sheer entertainment value, which we’ll agree with.

While we’re not convinced the world of Breaking Bad is linked to The Walking Dead, most of these connections could certainly be intentional homages – especially considering they’re both on the AMC network.
